rain-scented, suckling soil's deepest light
I'm carried away to sky
~0~0~
Today when the trees pink & rise
with spring's first step
Today when afternoon sun flirts
with the lilac & lemon tulips
Today when the hawk catches the tail
wind of rain-clouds
Today when someone I love is slowly dying
and when someone I don't know is dying
Today when someone steps away from the past
and opens the door to a new journey
When the oranges ripen, fragrant
as long stem roses in a green vase
Let the beauty of this day come inside
resting its head on your chest
As a child with a mother does, as they silently
watch the robins weave their nests-
Let its fierceness and tenderness hold you
Let its vastness be undisguised in all your days
